If I could give this company zero stars, I would.
If I could give this company zero stars, I would. For Christmas, I asked my parents for a $300 leather backpack from this company. My mom ordered it. Unfortunately, I was unhappy with the quality and wanted to return it. We immediately notified the company and paid for it to be returned to the address they gave us. My mom received a response today that because we sent it back via UPS instead of USPS the company could not process a refund - even though we told them we were sending it back via UPS and we had to pay for shipping back ourselves and we had a tracking number that shows it arrived at their facility. We were shocked by this response. How disappointing and not okay. Order elsewhere.

Hi Laura, Thank you for your feedback. We wanted to clarify the situation regarding your return. When we asked which shipping courier you would use to return the bag, it was because our warehouse system requires that the tracking number matches the label we provided. This is necessary to ensure smooth warehouse processing. You indicated that you would be sending the return via USPS, and we provided you with a USPS label for this purpose. We emphasized the importance of using the specified courier to avoid any issues with your return and refund. However, you submitted a UPS tracking number for your return, which is not compatible with our system. Typically, we cannot issue refunds for returns with incorrect tracking numbers as our warehouse system is unable to match the records and locate your shipment. However, in this instance, we were, fortunately, able to locate your return and therefore able to approve your refund this time. This was confirmed on January 20th. Thank you.
